(b)order the European Union, represented by the European Commission, to pay default interest on the financial compensation claimed under the preceding sub-paragraph (a) for the period between 31 January 2019 and the date of actual payment by the Commission of the amount paid in preceding sub-paragraph (a) in compliance with a judgment upholding the present action, at the European Central Bank interest rate for its refinancing operations, increased by three and a half percentage points, or, failing that, at the interest rate the Court considers appropriate;

Pleas in law and main arguments

The applicants’ primary claim for damages is that the Commission committed a sufficiently serious breach of Article 266 TFEU by failing to pay default interest when it repaid the unduly levied fine following the General Court’s judgment in Case T-691/14, Servier SAS and Others v Commission. (1)

In the alternative, the applicants claim damages on the basis that the Commission committed a sufficient serious breach of Article 266 TFEU by failing to pay compensatory interest to reflect the depreciation of the value of money when it repaid the unduly levied fine following the General Court’s judgment in Case T-691/14, Servier SAS and Others v Commission.
